The announcers keep banging on the phrase "hang on" especially on the shots in the rough.

Is it really "hang on" or is it more getting the hands in front and keeping the clubhead from twisting?

"Hang on" sounds like they're holding back something.

I think that was fun actually. I quite enjoyed it. Now if only we could get the announcers to stay home, and just have the mic guys listen in on every player/caddie conversation... then we'd re

Some years ago you could pretty much end the tournament right here. Tiger always won. I'm surprised if he doesn't win, or at least make it to a playoff.

It's so good to be able to sit down and watch golf again. I've missed it. If Tiger wins - and I hope I don't jinx it with this - he'll have won the Palmer, Nicklaus and Woods events in the same season. I think no one's ever won all three in the same before (although 2/3 has happened a few times).

One guy has done that. He might do it again today.

Knowledge of the Rules sometimes gives you an advantage. I've seen players hit the ball into the water and drop on the putting green because the fringe and rough are less than two clublengths wide. Perfectly legal, and I have no problem with that at all.

I have no problem with it either, if they're taking a penalty stroke to do it. My post was about free drops.

Did some jag-off just yell 'Natty Light - with Lime' after Bo just hit his drive on 11?

Tiger playing like this, and winning is good for golf and good for business, and if business is good, golf will be greater. Like him or hate him you gotta admit that.

Wow. I was even following golf then, so I should have known. [quote name="Beachcomber" url="/t/59807/2012-at-t-national-at-congressional-country-club-discussion-thread/72#post_734841"]These dudes are hitting 190yd 8-irons.  I just laugh... They are so freaking good. [/quote] They're good, but they're also playing in high temperatures. We also don't have the wind or the drop from the fairway to the green listed. But they're also really good.

And I was really into it and then Nick Faldo had to go and say something to take me out of it. "Let's talk the grip, one of the first fundamentals of this game..." And then he talks about what different grips so many different top players have!

Props to CBS for the closeups on the hands in slow motion.

Nick Faldo is like the dorky guy at work... That you just smile at.  And don't really say anything.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
